Now, looking down river.
In 1967 I needed work... the chemical company where I worked was on strike.
I got a job with W Q Waters Paint Company... I painted the inside of the capital dome... with white lead paint and little pots of color for the flowers. We were on 40 foot picks , 88 feet off of the marble floor. I was scared to death but I needed the money... I had a family.
My brother helped put the Gold Leaf on the outside.
